The Best Pico de Gallo Recipe! A quick & easy fresh authentic Mexican salsa, made with Roma tomatoes, red onions, lime juice, cilantro and optional jalapeños. You'd think a lot goes into this Mexican Salsa based on the delicious complex flavours, uh nope!! It's super straightforward, tasty and addicting. Make it mild or spicy, it's up to you.
I make this Pico De Gallo quite often for my husband. The flavours are so addicting. It never lasts long in our house.
We sometimes pair the fresh salsa with my guacamole recipe and some tortilla chips - the most perfect snack ever! Yum!
It's also super delicious in my Crunchwrap, Vegan burrito or Loaded Nachos with my Vegan Taco Meat! The options are endless, this salsa is a must on your Mexican menu!
No need to buy store bought Pico de Gallo it's 100% better when you make it at home!
HOW DO YOU MAKE PICO DE GALLO?
First things first, add your diced onions and lime juice to a medium bowl and marry the flavours for at least 15 minutes. It essentially pickles the onions, and mellows their flavour. I do this with all my salsa recipes with onions and citrus or vinegar.
Then you add the seeded and chopped tomatoes, diced jalapeños, if using and fresh cilantro and salt and pepper. That's it, fresh delicious and easy authentic Mexican salsa ready in a jiffy.
